在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校进行的一项调查中，超过 2,000 名西班牙语和葡萄牙语低年级学生（其中 97.2% 为非语言专业）被要求描述他们的长期职业目标，并推测理解、说、读或写西班牙语或葡萄牙语的能力如何（如果有的话）如何成为实现这些目标的一项资产。虽然超过 80% 的受访学生表示他们相信第二语言能力对他们未来的工作很有价值，但他们的陈述也提供了令人放心的证据，证明语言学习的文化和人文目标仍然受到当代本科生的重视。本文包括对调查及其结果的描述，以及对其对开发专门的、以职业为导向的语言课程和教材的一些影响的讨论。
In a survey conducted at t h e University of Texas at Austin, more than 2,000 lower-division students of Spanish and Portuguese (97.2 percent of them non-language majors) were asked to describe their long-range professional goals, and to speculate how, if at all, the ability to understand, speak, read, or write Spanish or Portuguese could be an asset in obtaining these goals. While over 80 percent of the students surveyed indicated their belief that second language competence could be valuable in their future work, their statements also provide reassuring evidence of the degree to which the cultural and hunanistic goals of language study continue to b e valued by the current generation of undergraduates. This article includes a description of the survey and its results, as well as a discussion of some of its implications for the development of specialized, career-oriented language courses and teaching materials.
